In March 2012, Lord Mayor Graham Quirk announced
funding of a program dedicated to bringing high
profile authors to Brisbane.
The Lord Mayor’s Writers in Residence series is committed to hosting
author events and workshops in libraries to encourage not just
reading, but writing within our community.
This popular series allows Brisbane readers and creative writers
to hear from and work with high profile national and international
authors at libraries across the city. The series engages audiences of
all ages, with diverse reading interests in different genres and both
fiction and non-fiction books.
So far, the series has hosted authors such as Kathy Reichs, Raymond
E. Feist, Matthew Reilly, Alexander McCall-Smith and Geoffrey
Robertson QC. In 2017, the program will continue to bring popular
authors to libraries across Brisbane.
